A three-year-old girl was left looking "dead behind the eyes" having contracted salmonella after eating a Kinder Surprise chocolate egg, her frightened mum has claimed. Charlotte Wingfield has said that her daughter Brooklyn-Mai was only awake for 12 to 14 hours over a four-day period as her temperature soared to 39C, as reported by HullLive.
She has also spent time in hospital having been in an "extreme amount of pain" with Charlotte believing she has been food poisoned by the chocolate treat. Kinder has issued a warning for the public not to eat their products and the company's Belgium factory has also been ordered to close.
In a Facebook post, shared more than 650 times, Charlotte said: "Brooklyn-Mai has been so so poorly since I picked her up from nursery on Monday. Seeing as I was so ill last week, I thought nothing of it than her just coming down with the tummy bug I had until she slept for 21 out of the following 24 hours and then kept falling asleep as she was doing things.
